In this powerful conversation on Versions of Healing, a segment of The Healing Version podcast, host Dee-bo-rah sits down with Shannon Curtis, founder of Angel Goddess Healing and author of No More Monsters Under the Bed: Shining Your Light on the Dark.

Shannon opens up about her journey through childhood sexual abuse, a seven-year addiction to pain medication, depression, anxiety, miscarriages, infertility, and the end of a 15-year marriage—and how all of it ultimately led her back to self-love, spiritual awakening, and purpose.

She shares a life-changing experience with the plant medicine iboga/ibogaine in Mexico, where she was able to remember and process her childhood trauma, confront her perpetrator on a soul level, and experience true forgiveness. Shannon breaks down what forgiveness really is (and what it's not), and how it helped her release shame, reclaim her power, and unlock her spiritual gifts.

We also talk about generational trauma—including Shannon supporting her own daughter through her healing process—why addiction is often a coping tool rather than "the problem," and how curiosity instead of judgment can change the way we understand addiction, anger, and behavior in both adults and children.

Shannon Curtis is a spiritual coach, intuitive guide, founder of Angel Goddess Healing, and author of No More Monsters Under the Bed: Shining Your Light on the Dark. She helps individuals move from shame, addiction, and unprocessed trauma into emotional freedom, spiritual growth, and inner peace. Shannon believes we are all spiritual beings having a human experience—and that at our core, we are love.
